Fortress 101

[Migell Acosta]

Mary:

We've been using the product for about three months on eight public 
access internet stations.  It works well for us in that the security is 
pretty tight (remember to protect the CMOS settings independently - this 
product doesn't do it), it is easy for an administrator with the proper 
password to overide and service the PC, and the price ain't too bad.  
Their number is 800-331-0372 and they also have a Web site with trial 
downloads (www.fortres.com).

My only importatn advice is to configure the PC exacly as you want it to 
behave and then install Fortres as the last step to lock it up.  If you 
do Fortres first, then it's a pain to have to overide the security for 
every subsequent change you want to make.
